What do you regard as retro? (kbin.earth)

r/RetroGaming is very strict about retro. They say the Nintendo 64 is retro while the PlayStation 2 is modern. This despite the fact the PlayStation 2 is now 25 years old.

So I got to wonder about this community deems as “retro”.

Or a better question: what’s considered retro and not retro? What’s the fine line between retro and modern?

For me personally, the “retro” is about period ending before “age of ugliest 3D”.

I mean technically PS1/N64 is retro, but I agree personally it ends with 16-bit era systems.
